Chapter 509 Forty-two Degrees

• Celsius She was running a fever, and the temperature was very high. Just by touching her, Grace could tell it was over 40 degrees Celsius! Grace immediately reached out and shook her shoulder, “Evelyn, Evelyn?” Being shaken made Evelyn feel uncomfortable, and she finally woke up from her nightmare, opening her eyes in a daze. The morning light wasn’t actually glaring, but it felt unbearable to her. It wasn’t because of the light itself, but rather the discomfort.
• caused by the high fever and other symptoms. Although she was awake, her consciousness was clearly unclear. Grace applied a physical cooling patch to her forehead, gave her a fever-reducing medicine, and eventually called emergency services. The waiting time felt agonizing, even though it was only a little over ten minutes. Grace was still anxious and restless. Her temperature was burning too high, and the fever-reducing medicine had no effect on her. Although fever is not a severe illness, such a high temperature can still cause many complications, such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, meningitis, and more. Grace was extremely worried and anxious, but apart from changing the towels, there was little else she could do.
• Fortunately, the ambulance arrived relatively quickly. A nurse brought a wheelchair, and together they placed Evelyn in it and pushed her into the elevator, then transferred her to the ambulance. Grace didn’t even have time to change out of her pajamas. She hastily threw on a coat and hurriedly followed them to the hospital. The nearest hospital was the Royal Hospital in Jewel City. On the way, as Evelyn’s fever was extremely high, a nurse administered a small dose of fever-reducing intravenous drip. Upon arrival at the hospital, they conducted a complete blood test, various laboratory tests, and physical examinations. When Grace saw the number on the thermometer, she was almost stunned.
